Series consists of eight sub-series of records which appear to have been culls of dormant files of Gillespie's work as Minister of State for Science and Technology and as Minister of Industry, Trade, and Commerce. The original use of these records is not clear; the original order of this series, if there was one, cannot now be reconstructed. The records were gathered by his office shortly after he became Minister of Energy, Mines, and Resources on 26 September 1975. A list of at least some of these files is in volume 166, file 111-1. The records were packed into 26 boxes numbered T1 to T26, and sent to storage. They may have been jumbled in packing, and gaps in the file lists suggest that some files were later removed. Additionally, some files here had been brought forward from earlier political and personal work; perhaps Gillespie was using his earlier work and thinking for political issues in the early 1970s. These records were retained and reused, either by Gillespie or by his assistants, because they were valued. In general, they document technology, entrepreneurship, wealth creation, trade, business, elections, and campaign strategy - in short political economy.
